The Skyfall Chronicles

Beta

Discovered 5 months after Alpha, Beta is primarily used as a storehouse for traveling ships. Because of the high population of dwarves, Beta is the only pirate stronghold where explosive ordinance is developed, tested, and ultimately sold. It is the outtermost satelite of the Maelstrom and thus ordinarily out of the way for most pirating routes, so there is an abundance of jobs available to pirates with their own ship.
